Moving to electric vehicles will dull recessions currently inflated by oil

Did they though? Tesla fudges their numbers by the way.

“Tesla does not officially report sales for individual models; they typically group Model 3 and Model Y deliveries together and put Model S, X, and Cybertruck under “Other Models” in their quarterly reports.”

I don’t really consider Hybrid to be anything of significance in the aggregate.

22% isn’t significant?

The best thing about EVs? The typical douchebag hater, has moved on from hating hybrids and have focused their attention to EVs. No one is keying Priuses anymore, that’s for EVs now.

I currently have two hybrids.

Looks like the 22% includes EVs.

Agree.

EVs 8%
Hybrid Electric (no plug; like original Prius) 12%
Plug-in Hybrid ( PHEV other name) measly 2%

Are those Toyotas or other brands ? How long have you had them ?

I’m probably leaning towards that option in 2 years; unless the solid state
stuff is a) on market and proven and b) not a super high premium for being
early adopter of the tech.

Toyotas.

Still amazed that they call it Full Self Driving when it’s not. It’s false advertising and puts them at risk for law suits.

It’s actually called “FSD (Supervised)”…and it’s amazing.

I don’t think we are that far off from Tesla owners being able to stay home and let the car go out and take Uber rides so you can make money while sitting on your couch.

That is incorrect. They add supervised in parentheses after FSD. Full Self Driving (supervised). And they don’t do that all the time and almost never in social media posts.

That’s why I put it in quotes. So it’s not incorrect.

But only Cybertrucks/Teslas burn people. Right?

The grid can’t handle EVs myth busted.

Best point to me is the statement that US grid can handle all the AC use during summer days but would break with overnight EV charging.

Only Teslas catch fire, right?
